I am trying to deal but it is nice to know there are others out that that KNOW what I am talking about etc when I say I just hurt..... Thank you for being there! Sherry, I know that just dealing with the flare is a very difficult thing. I hope that you have a good dr. and that he/she has you on good pain meds for it. I reached a new level of pain 5 months ago and since it is so bad, I have changed my pain level scale. Now what I would have called an 8 before, I now call a 5 or 6, if I didn't do this, then I would always be saying that my pain is a 10 or an 11 and that just doesn't work. I went through some depression and denial at first when the pain got worse and wasn't getting any better. Now I have just accepted that I'm in a different stage of the fibro and this is the new me...I just have to deal with it. Don't ever forget that there is ALWAYS someone here to listen to you and to help you. Love and gentle hugs, Debi/So.
